WUaS Information Technologies and Data Plan: Difference between revisions

As World University & School's wiki grows potentially in all languages and countries, with individuals teaching and learning at youtube.com and, other video hosting sites, (as both educational content and archive), in virtualdigitally worldscreative -ways, asin bothvirtual educational contentworlds, and archivein -group video chats, WUaS will develop the following information technology and data management plan.

- Use the newly developing WikiData (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata) for the 'back end,' and WikiBase (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Wikibase_Client) for the 'front end,' of the World University and School wiki.

- Find, or build, a wiki 'front end' especially with output to a small, 2x3 inch screen, as wiki, on 'obscure' internet phone browsers (e.g. like Palm OS, etc.), with UniCode, for the developing world and in symbols from all 200 countries and in 3000-8000+ languages, - given the benefits of wiki in terms of openness and group knowledge production, especially in the developing world. (Wikipedia is in around 284 languages, by way of comparison).

- Possibly use MediaWiki (e.g. Wikipedia), but it doesn't work well on handhelds. (WikipediaPossibly isuse inSemanticWiki around(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki) 284with languages,MediaWiki. by way of comparison).

- For the 'You at WUaS' main page - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/You_at_World_University - use Quickbooks for nonprofitsNonprofits to start as the 'backend,' and to manage communications, donor support, and to pay interns, and eventually as 'secure registrar,' for grades and transcripts (developing this as needed), and then add other Intuit software (see http://quickbooks.intuit.com/product/accounting-software/nonprofit-accounting-software/) to develop the Bookstore and used/new Computer store (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Bookstore_/_Computer_Store_%28New_%26_Used%29_at_WUaS). Quickbooks is probably in many countries and currencies already.

- Bookmarking information technology to add resources for this new handheld wiki for obscure mobile browsers?

- plan for Android / iPhone / smart phone mobile internet devices with video, andas well as tablets, and for group text chat for the Conference Method especially on handheld internet phones with browsers - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning - for teaching and learning, as the bare minimum hardware to begin to study for a MIT OCW-centric Bachelor's degree (perhaps for the first semester of an 8 semester Bachelor degree program).

- prioritize for DESIGN (like Apple) & robust information technological development in hiring, as we aim for possibly 2-5 billion Universitians on the SCHOOL idea-social network side of WUaS, and for around at least 2000 (and scalable) undergraduate students (e.g. http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_School) on the UNIVERSITY, free, degree-granting side, first matriculating in 2014, with MIT OCW for course curriculum (32 15 week MIT OCW courses over 4 years).

- WUaS Wiki Universal Translator, building on Google Translate, Sugar Labs' Translate, and other language translation projects.

- plan for 10,000-100,000 musical instruments, in text and voice, in all languages, and wiki-extensible beyond this for WUaS's Music School - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Music_School.
